Opening for recruitment!

A scruffy-looking Varisian man pokes his head in the door and looks around before coming inside. "Might want to put a sign out front - I only found this place by accident." Word of mouth was great and all, but you still wanted a good, eye-catching sign for any visitors.
"Name's Aurensar. I hit things, craft good-quality weapons, and growl at idiots. Unless they're paying idiots, of course. I can pick some of the simpler locks, but it's not really my specialty. Got some spells, too, but the Daggermark types tend to be fairly good at dodging out of the way."
Indeed, but this adventure requires people that can find there way to the end, so I thought making it less obvious would be a good way to select for the inquisitive types.
Alright, I'll go ask about a few more. The posts I made in private haven't gotten enough attention. (Although I guess we could do 2 and 2 pregens. :P)
This is a PFS1 scenario indeed, tier 1-5.
Sounds like we're mid-range, so something on the drastic ends of the tier to lock us in would be good. Hopefully I don't end up killing anyone, but I think the dice just weren't with my character when he died.
Or 1-2. Whatever brings the APL clearly into one or the other tier.
That's four total, but the APL does mean low without adjustment. I'd like a fifth in that case to counter the loss of the 4-player adjustment.

Well now, when it rains, it pours, doesn't it?!
I've played this before, but upon reviewing the Chronicle I got from that, I was reminded this grants a unique Boon I would not mind having, so please count me in!
For this adventure at Tier 4-5, I could offer a:
- Druid
- Kensei
- Fighter
- Skald Dark Lord
- Investigator
- Shaman True Silvered Throne
That sounds good, I just didn't want to be stuck in the middle, with fewer characters not benefiting from the adjustment. With six I feel we'll have less risk of failure.
Gameplay thread is open!
Updated the slides to allow editing, sorry about that!

Once Hskomoro hears he's going to be heading to Daggermark, he will buy scrolls of:
Detect Secret Doors (25)
Diagnose Disease (25)
Expeditious Retreat (25)
Faerie Fire (25)
Polypurpose Panacea (25)
Remove Sickness (25)
Speechreader's Sight (25)
Current total spent: 175gp.
Editing Google stuff is beyond me at the moment, I’d appreciate it if someone added my info to the sheet.
Name:DarkLightHitomi
AKA: Naomi Hiddenleaf
Faction: Grand Lodge
PFS: 84816-2
XP: 3
Prestige: 6
Fame: 6
Day job: Fortuneteller; take 10 for a total of 15.
Gold Earned: 1734.5

Mostly done. Not 100% sure how much gold you have going into this. I'm assuming probably 1288.7gp.

Alright I've done "dot-and-delete"; still waffling a little on which character to actually bring.
I'm presently thinking my premier contenders are my Druid, my Investigator, or my 'Dark Lord'.

We're heading into somewhere known for its roguish types, so maybe someone with Disable Device? I'd expect "poisoners and assassins" to be more the stabby type of rogue than the trap-focused one, but there could be some overlap.
I was thinking that, my lead qualm being I played a similar such character last time.
Khāṇa find the negative-channeling Akkina a reminder of home, too.
That's the other thing - one of my Dhampirs would love that!
I will be traveling home this weekend to visit family, but I should still be available to post updates. Once we have everyone locked in, I will post the briefing and provide initial Knowledge check info.

If she were an ice cream, she would be: Garlic! How about the rest of you?
With the poisoning, we are moving in rounds, so feel free to post your actions and I will let you know how far you are able to get each round.

Is the poison causing the Venture-Captain nausea or the sickened condition? Hskomoro bought that scroll of Remove Sickness.
From the IC post, I'm not getting the impression that spell would be useful... but it's worth asking to be sure.

It appears to be causing the Dying condition. Honestly, I'm surprised it took ten seasons for them to do this in a briefing.
Keep in mind those actions are rounds, so time is also involved.

The poisoner (probably that dwarf) found the potion of (presumably) Neutralize Poison. He then had someone brew an alchemical expanding foam in the same kind of bottle, with a color close enough that the Venture-Captain wouldn't immediately notice. He then swapped out the vials, so that when he LATER poisoned the Venture-Captain, the curative would kill him.
Taking something like impact foam as a base... let's say we add 5 to the cost to get the color right. Assume the brewer can take 10 for 20. That would take something like 6 days to craft. 5 days if they can do DC25.
That's a lot of planning. This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thing.
That’s one possibility. Another is the poison has a component that reacts with the potion.
Or it was the wrong potion entirely.

Could you please clarify this?
Also, if you could do me a favor and remove Eniac from the character-roster? I "dotted in" as it before I'd seen enough of the rest of the party to settled on Khāṇa.

”Or scary idea, the poison used is formulated to react to such a potion.”
"It had better not - that way liess potion misscibility madnesss."
Weren't potions more stable than that nowadays? That was a flaw from the Age of Darkness, right? At least, that's the impression he got from that sage back at the lodge. He kept mumbling something about a "table" and "Aren Gee".
Looks like you have a mystery to discover!

Done. In this case, since you rolled the Survival check to discover there was no trail, the point remains spent.

Hskomoro
Naomi Hiddenleaf
Khāṇa Tsogtsos - Checking Bosk's body
Daenerija
Beryx Zinder
Akkina
Hskomoro was checking the desk, unless we're already sure there were no other vials. Barring that, I'd imagine it could have important documents.
If you wanted a Perception check...
Wand of Heightened Awareness first.
You’re guessing vials aren’t going to be useful at this point. What is on his desk might be useful in piecing together what you need to do and where you need to go next however. Hskomoro can make a Perception or Knowledge Geography check to inspect the documents. There is also a safe in the office if anyone has a way to open it. PCs can also team up as they see fit.
Edit: Character actions should also be posted in the gameplay thread while OOC discussion should be done here.

The question wasn't "can we save the VC by finding a vial". The question was "is there anything else in here", which would provide evidence towards this being a longer, planned-out killing vs something triggered when they heard we were coming.
My intent posting in the discussion thread was to point to the in-character action already present in the Gameplay thread. Would have put the Perception check over there, once I knew one was required, but the edit window had closed.
Were your questions answered? I feel like our communication styles are mismatching and want to clear that up.
Like a lot of scenarios, this one has a subsystem for determining how things play out. The murder of the VC is a mystery that will require investigation, as he did not survive to brief you on your mission in Daggermark.
Investigating will take a standardized amount of time, so I will need to wait for everyone to finish their first actions before sharing all the results, so we don't have people leaping to the next investigative action ahead of the rest of the party.
Most of this work is on the GM, but if you have class abilities that let you gather information faster than the standard rules or things like Swift Tracking to avoid moving slower, those will likely come into play. (At least, when they aren't being thwarted by mysterious forces!)
Not that you have found yet, but we also haven't finished searching yet.
As I said, you already rolled the check, so you will need to spend more time investigating to be able to reroll the check. What is the rest of the party doing now?
